Is the spout a soft spout? My three toddlers all tend to bite down on the spouts and have bitten through all the soft spouts we have tried.

It's a soft spout, but the way it is constructed it is actually quite difficult for someone to bite through the silicone and enlarge the opening. The 2 slits where the water comes out are protected by a lip that extends over them. To give you an idea, my daughter goes through other brands of silicone spouts in a couple weeks, tops, by biting on the spout and enlarging the holes. I only have one Pura Kiki spout that we've used every night for a few months now and it shows no signs of tearing yet.

No, but it is a hard suck to make it work. Which makes it really good for less likely to leak. My 3 year old has no issues and my son almost 10 months can almost get it to work for him. Its a hard spout.

It's a very soft straw but it falls inside the cup very often. In regards to the top part, it can poke your child in the face. I end up losing this sippy cup.

I haven't had any issues except it took my daughter awhile to understand this sippy cup instead of a bottle but that's to be expectedm now its the only sippy she will use.

The spout is hard. It took a while for my son to learn how to use it but he caught on quickly.(:

no -- we have never had any problems with the spout falling out while pouring and we have used these cruets for several years

I have not had any problems with this yet. I wasnt happy with the plastic spout, but it has held up nicely. We use it daily.

Child has to suck to get it out, but not super hard like some sippy cups we've had. However, after having ours for about six months, the no spill valve has broken and it pours out. I could just replace it with another valve, but I probably won't bother since I don't let him walk around the house with it to spill it anyway. We only use ours for water because I'm not fond of things that need a bottle brush to reach inside, I never feel like it gets it clean enough anyway. I suppose you could put it in the dishwasher however, which would be easy enough. Overall, I like this sippy cup a lot and would recommend it as one of the better, if not the best sippy cup we've ever used.

You do not have to bite the straw for the liquid to come up. My grandson had no problem with this cup and has used it for about 6 months (he is now 23 months old). He still has this cup but his other plastic zippy cups with straws have been replaced with stainless cups.

Both my toddlers easily chewed this and my youngest is now 2, but obviously it depends on the child. I sometimes use to break one in half and give little pieces, but it crumbles easily in my opinion. You could easily crush as well as that is what a friend of mine does with her 3 year old and mixes with honey. Great product!

I'm not 100% sure but my guess is NoThis cup is round & wide. Not like the bottles. Hands down the Best Sippy Cup out there. I have 3 under 3yrs of age. I've tried everything. Good luck!

I know what you are saying. I have similar cups and they are stiffer. This one is one of the softer ones but it's hard for my little boy to use. He can put his hand in and grab hold of something but when he pulls his hands out the flaps usually catchs the item and his hands comes out with nothing. Seems like a great concept but didn't work for us.

They're not soft like the rubber-tipped spoons, but they are a pretty flexible plastic. I used these (as well as the Munchkin multicolor plastic spoons) with my little one when he started baby food at 6 months, and they worked great.

My boys have only used them with sippy spouts, but from what I hear from reviews, the nipples seem to be level 2 and 3.

No. It's a plastic top that you pry (for lack of a better term) or pop off to drink. It's not difficult to open and close, unless a younger toddler is attempting to open it. It's attached so you just pop it open to drink and click it shut to close it. I use them everyday and haven't had any issues with spilling or leaking. I hope this helps!

I dont think so. It requires the child to put pressure using their top lip. It requires some coordination. I would classify it as a toddler cup. My son is 2 & it took him a few tries to work it out.

It does not drip and it is not easy to unscrew so most toddlers would be unable to do so. My toddler loves is and so do I.
